Former First Lady, Aisha Buhari, has explained why she does not intend to remarry following the passing of her husband, the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Speaking at the unveiling of a biography titled “From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari” at the State House in Abuja on Monday, Aisha described her decision as pragmatic rather than moralistic.

Highlighting her plans for the next chapter of her life, the former First Lady said she intends to adopt a quieter public profile, dedicating her time to family, philanthropy, and travel.

“I would have my quiet time to run my foundation, the Aisha Buhari Foundation, and the cardiovascular and medical centre in Kano. I will host, collaborate, and extend the same ethic of care that animated my politics into a quieter, more sustainable hospitality,” she said.
